Calendar III:
Why can we see only the lower half of the 6 + 4 = 10 central glyphs? In Ye1-4, the last of the ordinary glyphs, henua at right is missing - it is a dark time. Light has not yet arrived. If so, then the first glyph (Ye1-1) could refer to the old year and the 3 following be 60 days before light appears. Another explanation (not excluding the first one) is that 64 should be the proper measure, not 60. 6 + 4 = 10 glyphs with only the bottom parts visible should then be the 10 months of Sun. After that a dark (with strings across) henua arrives (Yf2-1). 5 glyphs (Yf2-1--4 plus Ye1-1) identify the last 100 days of the year (ending with Mercury). With short glyph lines Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, and Saturn will be present more often than the rest of the planets. But Sun and Moon must be there together in the middle of summer. I think we can read the half glyphs as a sign of reversal. In Yc2-1 it looks as if the glyph is on its way to sink down into the water which arrives with autumn:
And in calendar I we can see it even more clearly. After 180 + 60 = 240 days the world will be immersed due to the deluge. 40 days it will rain according to the Bible:
If these 8 glyphs measure only 5 days each, then the expression 'raining for 40 days and nights' becomes clear. Here the days have more or less vanished because of the great rain, and their normal value must be reduced. The days have become like the nights. Therefore we can read also calendar III:
The henua glyphs mark the flow of time and 260 is the distance from day 100 to day 360:
Mercury is located both at 280 and 360. Venus has her central role in summer. Saturn is at the beginning. Time to summarize the three calendars (as far as we have been able to understand them so far):
